Hi there,
I wanted to create, what I thought was, a simple automation.
If my Nest doorbell detects a person after 1am, the Hue Spotlight in my porch will turn to 100% brightness.
But there’s no IFTTT integration at all since Google took over!
Any word on if this will return, or is there an alternative solution.
I feel like more and more I should just replace all my Nest devices for Ring.

Actually it looks like I can do this inside the Google app 😂
I’m still interested if IFTTT will return though

Well if you could support in setting up an automation as mentioned above it’d be appreciated.
I tried using the Google Home app and it didn’t work.

My guess is you are not aware of Google Home Script Editor. Along those lines I am not sure why it is not promoted more.
Anyway...

Is there a specific reason you are leveraging IFTTT for that vs doing it in Google Home via Script Editor?
